    Due to the ad about the Peppers Jobs, it is also possible to implement Linux on it, but the resellers didn't have any kind of expertise about that, only WIndows
    So my question is if anyone has any experience about possibilities to set it up. Installation is simple, but I wondered what experiences other had about it, a full overwrite or installing it side by side and choose what to start at startup.

    Anyone ?

    I'll use it (2) for server and desktop to test new software and servers written in Delphi 10.3.3 using Firemonkey as framework

    Linux Ubuntu is absolutely supported, natively.
    Delphi is out of my knowledge, sorry.

    Trying to search on net for Linux with no results except food things
    So it seems to be a very hidden secret on how to start the installation.
    Should one go for

    1. complete overwriting the unit,

    2. choose to decide when firing up it or just do

    3. using Windows built in support of Linux where you need to first start windows, then fire up Linux manually

    I hope the first item is most ok to let the Server or Desktop start immediately (I have invested into two)

    It's extremely easy, you could build your own bootable pen drive and run Ubuntu on it,
    or you may always install it to the eMMC (overwrite), or additional SSD (not included).

    Thx for confirming overwrite is a solution.
    The ad could be interpreted as if there is some hidden operative system already installed which would fired up with hidden commands or alike.

    So then I'll overwrite my first bought one that failed during upgrade of latest versions of Windows because lacking files from previous update
